Hi Suresh,
Very good article who interested in the mid cap.

Thank you
Thank you Dominic
Really great blog Suresh Sir, this article cleared most of my doubts.
Sir can you share your insights on why there is a steep fall in the share prices of midcap and small cap stocks.
Your response to my query will be highly appreciated.Thank you!
Hi Surjit, There are multiple reasons. Major reason is about reclassification of mutual fund schemes direction from SEBI. This made mutual fund houses to come out of midcap and smallcap stocks and reclassify into proper equity funds. They cannot invest in midcap stocks through all their schemes now. They can invest only through one fund per house in mid-cap stocks. Same way for smallcap stocks.
Hi Mr suresh,
I heard from this year onwards even ELSS FUNDS gains are taxable…
if that is true better we go towards ulips, whose gains are not taxable..
ex:hdfc life progrowth plus etc…
waiting for ur inputs.
aravind
Hi Aravind, All equity funds including ELSS funds returns are taxable even if these are longterm (> 1 year). Upto Mar-18 these were not taxable. You need to pay 10% tax on long term equity funds returns. Hence, if you were thinking about 15% returns earlier, you may need to reduce your expectation to 13.5% as an example. I would not advice you to go to ULIPs which comes with high charges and low returns
I WANT TO BUY ELSS FUND OF ABSL TAX RELIEF-96 FOR TAX SCHEME . SHALL I BUY MORE THEN 01 SCHEME UNDER THE SAME COMPANIES.?
ALTHOUGH,I HAVE ALREADY 02 NOS. MUTUAL FUND (NAME-ABSL MID CAP FUND & FRONTLINE EQUITY ) IN EQUITY FUND.
Hi Mohit, There are no 2 ELSS funds from same company. You can buy 2 ELSS funds from different mutual fund AMCs
